Welcome to
Waterford Birth Centre
Whare Whakawhānau Pēpi
Kia ora. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
Waterford offers a safe nurturing centre at this
special time for you and your family/whanau.
ATTENTION: COVID-19 UPDATE
As of 14th May we are in Level 2. Two support persons are now permitted for labour & birth.
One nominated person may stay postnatally and may come & go to pick up food.
To minimize exposure to COVID-19 coronavirus disease, there is a maximum of two visitors per postnatal room per day to allow for adequate 2m physical distancing in the space we have, as per the Level 2 recommendations.
The front door will remain locked at all times. Visiting hours will be 10-12 and 3-5.30 Monday to Friday, and 10-12 Saturday and Sunday. Client feedback has revealed that couples have really appreciated the quiet time as a new family, so we will trial these new hours.
All visitors to please sign in & out at the front desk, answer the Covid-19 questions & use hand gel on entry.
Meals may be purchased from Lonestar at $22 each from the Waterford menu, or bring ready to eat food. You will need to bring your own breakfast.
Please stay at home if you are unwell & seek medical advice.
For further information go to the New Zealand Ministry of Health website – https://www.health.health.govt.nz
Tours of Waterford will recommence under Level 1 – keeping 2m distancing.
Full maternity care from your first antenatal class to a healthy baby.
Waterford Birth Centre offers you the whole experience of care from confirmation of pregnancy to discharge from our facility.
Contact us when looking for a midwife. There are many to choose from including midwives with clinics at Waterford.
All year-round antenatal classes are facilitated by qualified childbirth educators for you, your partner and/or birth support to gain confidence,
knowledge and trust in birth and early parenting.
Waterford Birth Centre offers up to date, safe facilities to meet your primary birthing needs. After birth, relax in our large comfortable
postnatal room for two days of nurturing care from our experienced staff midwives.
Once home your LMC will continue care. Come join other mums at the monthly La Leché League meetings held on-site.
All these services are free to NZ residents.
